Hi!
A state has all of those characteristics except an ethnicity. An ethnicity is something which belongs to a person or group.
While a state may have groups of people who belong to certain ethnicities, a state itself does <em>not </em>have an ethnicity.
Hopefully, this helps! =)

European monarchs became absolute rulers in response to religious and territorial conflicts that later on resulted in warfare and revolts. After exploration, enlargement of territories and wealth, civil wars and external conflicts, kings became a lot more powerful which helped them to become absolute monarchs.
